Review of Viking Sineus

The Viking Sineus ship cruises on Dnieper River in Ukraine and Black Sea departing from Kiev and Odessa. This Viking cruise ship is named after Sineus - a Viking prince/chieftain from the Varangian Rus tribe. Brother to Truvor and Rurik, Sineus settled himself on the southern shores of White Lake ("Lake Beloye") establishing the town of Belozersk (aka Beloozero). The Truvor and Sineus territories were later consolidated by Rurik, who established his own dynasty in Kiev to rule over the Kievan Rus empire.

Viking Sineus accommodations meet all European comfort standards and provide hotel-style beds, 26-inch flat TVs, in-room refrigerators. The beautiful public areas and restaurant facilities help make Viking Sineus the finest river cruise ship in Ukraine.

Take an unforgettable journey and choose the fully refurbished Sineus. This ship carries up to 202 guests in 98 spacious staterooms - 2 Junior Suites, 4 Suites, 32 Deluxe, 60 Veranda. Enjoy the sun deck with its shaded sitting area and 360-degree views and benefit from the restaurant, observation lounge, two bars with panoramic views, library and onboard boutique. There is free internet in every stateroom and a doctor, 24h available.

The Viking Sineus ship was built in East Germany during the USSR times under the name "Mikhail Lomonosov". The Viking line acquired the vessel in 1990 and renamed it "Viking Lomonosov". In 2014, after an extensive refit and refurbishment it was renamed to its current name "Viking Sineus". The Lomonosov ship was one of all 22 Russian river cruise vessels constructed in the period 1974-1983 (Project name "301″ /second series, river passenger ship class “”Vladimir Ilyich”). Because of its V-bottom hull shape, Sineus can also operate as Black Sea cruise vessel.
